Johnny Cash - 101 - I Walk the Line: The Best of Johnny Cash

Johnny Cash is the archetypal bad boy of Country Music. With his imposing figure and deep distinctive sound, he became one of the most influential leaders of not only Country Music, but music as a whole. After being discharged from the army in 1953, Cash sought the services of Sam Philips of Sun Studios who had shot to fame after producing a string of Elvis hits. With Philips guidance, Cash scored his first hit Cry Cry Cry in 1955, followed by a pair of Top 10 singles in So Doggone Lonesome and Folsom Prison Blues. But true fame arrived in 1956, when Cash wrote and released I Walk The Line, which catapulted to No. 1 and sold 2 million copies.
